Our resident Veterinary Nurse Lisa Hopkins is flying high this year after passing an examination that allows her to advise on medicines for avians.

Lisa Hopkins, who was already an E-SQP (Suitably Qualified Person in the Companion Animal and Equine field, as recognised by AMTRA), passed a further examination in March which qualifies her to advise on avian medicine – including treatment for poultry and pigeons.

This makes her an EA-SQP, which represents a great achievement as she is one of only 23 such qualified people in the UK.
